Special election for Pa. Senate seat slated for April 2
By Natasha Lindstrom
Voters in southern and western Allegheny County and part of Washington County will return to the polls this spring to fill the Pennsylvania Senate seat left vacant by newly elected Republican U.S. Rep. Guy Reschenthaler.
Lt. Gov. Mike Stack, D-Philadelphia, the presiding officer of the state Senate, announced via Twitter that he has asked the Senate’s secretary to draft a writ scheduling the 37th District’s special election for April 2.
“Counties will be served the writ on Monday,” Stack wrote in the tweet posted at 4:10 p.m. Friday.
The 37th District includes much of Allegheny County’s southern and western and suburbs, among them Bethel Park, Mt. Lebanon, Bridgeville, Moon Township, Upper St. Clair, Sewickley, Jefferson Hills, and Peters Township in Washington County.
